One's Purpose

Perhaps purpose
—the why of things--
Is the most important of all questions to ask.
And oftentimes, the most difficult to find.
Yet, a definitive answer exists.
Always.
If more so in the journey to discover
Than in the destination.
“Why do you chase after a hound in the darkened woods?”
The answer is in the following.
                                      --Joseph Gary Crance

an old, dead hemlock whose purpose now is to feed hungry woodpeckers. 
Nothing is without purpose in the forests.
